A lot of ATM cash machines run Windows 7. Yes, still.

Ah, you mean like the sync that Palm OS used to have? Yup, that was neat, and I’m still waiting for Android to pick up some of the neat features from back then.

Oh that is hilarious! Just on my first listen but I don’t quite get the lyrics - am deeply disappointed that the video doesn’t have subs. 🤭

Found it on Spotify. It’s so much worse with lyrics. Thank you for sharing a version without them! 🙏

Dragging a floppy to the bin would simply eject it… 🤷 Well all right, maybe the story is from before the intro of the “Insert disk Foo”.

Seconded.

I’ve read most of folklore.org and do not recall any such story. In fact, how do you even “drag the computer to the waste basket” as the first/only icon would be the System floppy and afaik they’ve never had / still don’t have a “computer icon”. 🤔

What I am really looking for is beyond our email, it’s proper integration between calendar, contacts, and map.

I want to be able to share calendars with my family, and link contacts from certain events (birthdays, meetings, and also just meet-ups). I want those contact’s addresses to be available as navigation destinations in the mapping app. I want to be able to bookmark (“star”) map locations.

That false constructor parameter is golden.

What’s with all the back slashes? \ why not use a regular…

…line break?

For a second, I thought this was going to be about Reavers…

Bluntly, where would Mozilla be without Google’s funding?

Gone, probably.

So while I agree that it is poisonous and there is something very wrong with Mozilla corporate structure, it is a necessary evil.

Very. And he was going blind, too. I read a marvellous interview with him not too long ago, I’ll see if I can find it.

There’s the Internet archive archive. It’s being funded by all the excess donations that archive.org themselves can’t find a way to spend.

Definitely not a kid, there’s too much skill and perseverance for that. But yeah, a mentally off person back in the day, or a very, very good con man later on, that we can agree on.

Vöøyniytschz Manuscript. For sure the guaranteed correct spelling.

I loved win XP, but it’s been steeply down hill since then, to this unbearable toddler ui. So I’m with you on that one. I’ve been on *nix for 20+ years now.

If you want to do basic window manager things, like press the meta key (also referred to as the winows key on non-macbooks) + direction arrow to have a window snap to a quadrant of your screen, you have to install a 3rd party application with Homebrew.

you don’t need brew to install a window manager, although the fact that brew lets you treat it like a linux box is great.

Please tell me more.

My new job gave me a Mac. First one I’ve used … that has a colour screen, and boy have things (and myself) changed in the interim. I spent the entire first day figuring out what the buttons even do. Am I really expected to use the mouse (well, trackpad) this much? The first port replicator I bought only did one screen, I’m hoping the one now in the mail does better…
